Facility Inspections

To pair with its favorable overall score, we awarded this facility an A+ for inspections. Our inspection grades account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home also was awarded a strong long-term care score. Indeed, this is this nursing home's second strongest category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 93.763916 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is slightly below what we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
